Homemade Almond Milk
Most store-bought almond milks contain less than 7% almonds, and are mostly just an almond flavoured water. Theres nothing wrong with using them, but once you try homemade almond milk, its pretty hard to go back to store bought! You can use any ratio of nuts to water, I like to do about 1/3 nuts to 2/3 water to make a creamy milk.

Almond milk can be given from 6 months once you’ve introduced almonds. Almond milk is NOT considered enough protein to be used for allergen introduction, you would use an almond meal or almond nut butter for this.
